:: Joseph Farbrook + Joshua Rosenstock ::

Multi-media artist Joseph Farbrook focused on performance and narrative while studying at the University of Colorado, where he wrote electronic music, poetry, and fiction. As he became interested in a more immersive approach to narrative, he began using computers and the Internet as creative media. After graduating with a degree in creative writing, he pursued an MFA in digital art. Farbrook began creating electronic installations, interactive video, and virtual reality narratives. His latest work is in the emerging field of Machinima (machine animated cinema) where he shoots movies from within his custom-made 3D environments. More >>
